Washington died from strep-throat infection.
It’s too bad George Washington died. It would be nice to have him around today.
It just re-affirms why Washington was by far and away the greatest General/President/All around leader this country has ever produced. I’ve read that story before, but loved reading it again. To go into that den of mutineers led by his enemy, the ever incompetent Gates and sway them to see his side takes a force of personality that few men or women have. I daresay, none of our elected leaders today could have swayed those men.
